Service and Sacrifice
Read the following passages
and answer the questions.
Luke 10:29-37
The Good Samaritan
- Write a summary of the story of the Good Samaritan. Why is it important that the story is about a Samaritan? Who were the priest and the Levite? If Jesus were telling this story today, who do you think he would tell the story about? Use your imagination. Do you believe you have a responsibility to help others? Give reasons.
Mark 8:34-38
The Cost of Discipleship
- Copy out Mark 8:34-38 into your files. Jesus explains that in order to follow God people will have to sacrifice things. Do you think it is reasonable to expect this of people? If helping others meant you had to give up things like money, possessions, friends, family, etc. Do you think you would be able to do it? Would you want to do it? Do you think you care about other people? Everyone, or just some who are special to you.
